Binasbasan ni Moises ang mga Lipi ng Israel
33 Ito ang mga pagpapalang binigkas ni Moises na lingkod ng Diyos, bago siya namatay.
2 “Dumating si Yahweh mula sa Bundok Sinai.
Sumikat sa Edom na parang araw,
at sa bayan niya'y nagpakita sa Bundok Paran.
Sampung libong anghel ang kanyang kasama,
nagliliyab na apoy ang nasa kanang kamay niya.
3 Minamahal ni Yahweh ang kanyang bayan[a]
at iniingatan ang kanyang hinirang.
Kaya't yumuyukod kami sa kanyang paanan,
at sinusunod ang kanyang kautusan.
4 Binigyan kami ni Moises ng kautusan,
na siyang yaman ng aming bayan.
5 Naging hari si Yahweh ng Israel na kanyang bayang hirang,
nang ang mga pinuno ng mga lipi nito ay nagkakabuklod.
6 “Ang lipi ni Ruben sana'y manatili,
kahit ang bilang niya'y kakaunti.”
7 Tungkol kay Juda ay ganito ang sinabi:
“Dinggin mo, Yahweh, ang daing nitong Juda,
ibalik mo siya sa piling ng kanyang bayan,
at tulungan siya sa pakikipaglaban.”
8 Tungkol(A) kay Levi ay kanyang sinabi:
“Ang Tumim ay kay Levi, ang Urim ay sa tapat mong alipin;
sa kanya na iyong sinubok sa Masah at sa may tubig ng Meriba.
9 Higit ka niyang pinahalagahan kaysa kanyang mga magulang,
pati anak at kapatid ay hindi isinaalang-alang.
Upang masunod lang ang iyong kautusan,
at maging tapat sa iyong kasunduan.
10 Kaya't siya ang magtuturo sa Israel ng iyong kautusan,
siya ang magsusunog ng insenso at mga alay sa altar.
11 Palakasin mo nawa, Yahweh, ang kanyang angkan,
paglilingkod niya'y iyong pahalagahan.
Durugin mong lahat ang kanyang kaaway,
upang di na makabangon kailanman.”
12 Tungkol naman kay Benjamin, ganito ang sinabi:
“Mahal ka ni Yahweh at iniingatan,
sa buong maghapon ika'y binabantayan,
at sa kanyang mga balikat ika'y mananahan.”
13 Tungkol kay Jose ay sinabi:
“Pagpalain nawa ni Yahweh ang kanilang lupain,
sa hamog at ulan ay palaging diligin,
at tubig mula sa lupa ay pabukalin.
14 Magkaroon nawa siya ng mga bungang hinog araw-araw,
at mga pagkaing inani sa kapanahunan.
15 Mapupuno ng prutas maging matandang kabundukan.
16 Ang lupain niya'y sasagana sa lahat ng kabutihan,
mula kay Yahweh na nagsalita mula sa nag-aapoy na halaman.
Tamasahin nawa ng lipi ni Jose ang mga pagpapalang ito,
sapagkat sa ibang lipi'y siya ang namuno.
17 Ang panganay niya ay magiging makapangyarihan;
parang lakas ng toro ang kanyang taglay.
Ang mga bansa'y sama-samang itataboy hanggang dulo ng daigdig.
Ganyan ang kapangyarihan ng laksa-laksang kawal ni Efraim,
sa ganyan matutulad libu-libong kawal ni Manases.”
18 Tungkol kina Zebulun at Isacar ay sinabi:
“Magtagumpay nawa si Zebulun sa pangangalakal sa karagatan,
at sa bayan ni Isacar ay dumami ang kayamanan.
19 Ang ibang mga bansa ay dadalo
sa paghahandog ninyo doon sa bundok,
pagkat ang yaman nila'y buhat sa dagat
at sa buhanginan sa baybay nito.”
20 Tungkol kay Gad ay sinabi:
“Purihin ang Diyos na nagpalawak ng lupain ni Gad.
Si Gad ay parang leon na nag-aabang
at handang sumakmal ng leeg o kamay.
21 Pinili nila ang pinakamainam na lupain,
lupaing nababagay sa isang pangunahin.
Sumama siya sa mga pinuno ng Israel
upang mga utos ni Yahweh ay kanilang tuparin.”
22 Tungkol kay Dan ay sinabi:
“Isang batang leon ang katulad ni Dan,
na palukso-lukso mula sa Bashan.”
23 Tungkol kay Neftali ay sinabi:
“Lubos na pinagpala ni Yahweh itong si Neftali,
mula sa lawa hanggang timog ang kanilang kaparte.”
24 Tungkol kay Asher ay sinabi:
“Higit na pinagpala kaysa ibang lipi itong si Asher,
kagiliwan sana siya ng mga anak ni Israel.
Sumagana sa langis olibo ang kanyang lupain.
25 Bakal at tanso sana ang pintuan ng iyong mga bayan.
Maging mahaba at matatag nawa ang iyong pamumuhay.”
26 Ang iyong Diyos, O Israel, ay walang kagaya,
mula sa langit dumarating upang tulungan ka.
27 Sa mula't mula pa'y ang Diyos na ang inyong tanggulan,
walang hanggan niyang bisig ang inyong kanlungan.
Mga kaaway ninyo'y kanyang ipinagtabuyan,
at inutusan kayong sila'y lipuling lubusan.
28 Kaya ang bayang Israel ay nanirahang tiwasay,
sa lupaing sagana sa lahat ng bagay,
at laging dinidilig ng hamog sa kalangitan.
29 Bansang Israel, ikaw ay mapalad!
Walang bansa na iyong katulad,
pagkat si Yahweh ang sa iyo'y nagligtas.
Siya ang kalasag ng iyong kaligtasan,
at tabak ng iyong tagumpay.
Magmamakaawa ang iyong mga kaaway,
ngunit sila'y iyong tatapakan.

Deuteronomy 33
New King James Version
Moses’ Final Blessing on Israel
33 Now this is (A)the blessing with which Moses (B)the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2 And he said:
(C)“The Lord came from Sinai,
And dawned on them from (D)Seir;
He shone forth from (E)Mount Paran,
And He came with (F)ten thousands of saints;
From His right hand
Came a fiery law for them.
3 Yes, (G)He loves the people;
(H)All His saints are in Your hand;
They (I)sit down at Your feet;
Everyone (J)receives Your words.
4 (K)Moses [a]commanded a law for us,
(L)A heritage of the congregation of Jacob.
5 And He was (M)King in (N)Jeshurun,
When the leaders of the people were gathered,
All the tribes of Israel together.
6 “Let (O)Reuben live, and not die,
Nor let his men be few.”
7 And this he said of (P)Judah:
“Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,
And bring him to his people;
(Q)Let his hands be sufficient for him,
And may You be (R)a help against his enemies.”
8 And of (S)Levi he said:
(T)“Let Your [b]Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one,
(U)Whom You tested at Massah,
And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah,
9 (V)Who says of his father and mother,
‘I have not (W)seen them’;
(X)Nor did he acknowledge his brothers,
Or know his own children;
For (Y)they have observed Your word
And kept Your covenant.
10 (Z)They shall teach Jacob Your judgments,
And Israel Your law.
They shall put incense before You,
(AA)And a whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar.
11 Bless his substance, Lord,
And (AB)accept the work of his hands;
Strike the loins of those who rise against him,
And of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”
12 Of Benjamin he said:
“The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him,
Who shelters him all the day long;
And he shall dwell between His shoulders.”
13 And of Joseph he said:
(AC)“Blessed of the Lord is his land,
With the precious things of heaven, with the (AD)dew,
And the deep lying beneath,
14 With the precious fruits of the sun,
With the precious produce of the months,
15 With the best things of (AE)the ancient mountains,
With the precious things (AF)of the everlasting hills,
16 With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,
And the favor of (AG)Him who dwelt in the bush.
Let the blessing come (AH)‘on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’
17 His glory is like a (AI)firstborn bull,
And his horns like the (AJ)horns of the wild ox;
Together with them
(AK)He shall push the peoples
To the ends of the earth;
(AL)They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 And of Zebulun he said:
(AM)“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
And Issachar in your tents!
19 They shall (AN)call the peoples to the mountain;
There (AO)they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness;
For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas
And of treasures hidden in the sand.”
20 And of Gad he said:
“Blessed is he who (AP)enlarges Gad;
He dwells as a lion,
And tears the arm and the crown of his head.
21 (AQ)He provided the first part for himself,
Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there.
(AR)He came with the heads of the people;
He administered the justice of the Lord,
And His judgments with Israel.”
22 And of Dan he said:
“Dan is a lion’s whelp;
(AS)He shall leap from Bashan.”
23 And of Naphtali he said:
“O Naphtali, (AT)satisfied with favor,
And full of the blessing of the Lord,
(AU)Possess the west and the south.”
24 And of Asher he said:
(AV)“Asher is most blessed of sons;
Let him be favored by his brothers,
And let him (AW)dip his foot in oil.
25 Your sandals shall be (AX)iron and bronze;
As your days, so shall your strength be.
26 “There is (AY)no one like the God of (AZ)Jeshurun,
(BA)Who rides the heavens to help you,
And in His excellency on the clouds.
27 The eternal God is your (BB)refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
(BC)He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
And will say, ‘Destroy!’
28 Then (BD)Israel shall dwell in safety,
(BE)The fountain of Jacob (BF)alone,
In a land of grain and new wine;
His (BG)heavens shall also drop dew.
29 (BH)Happy are you, O Israel!
(BI)Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord,
(BJ)The shield of your help
And the sword of your majesty!
Your enemies (BK)shall submit to you,
And (BL)you shall tread down their [c]high places.”
